Studio Boone Guitars - Handmade Finger
Mini-Planes
They are made with East Indian Rosewood sides, Maple bottoms, and Mahogany wedge. The pin in the middle is made of brass, and the 1/8" thick steel is tempered and comes razor sharp and ready to use. You will notice that the sides of the plane are beveled, and this allows you to use the plane at about a 45 degree angle for trimming braces very close to the top. There is no finish on these planes, so you can apply any finish you desire to protect it from the elements.
Mini-planes are available for purchase from Luthier Suppliers for $35/each.
